7.7 Jiuzhaigou has recovered from the collapse, please consider carefully before coming

This weather is so unpredictable! 🌦️ Sunny and bright in the morning, a gust of strange wind at noon, and pouring rain in the afternoon! Wearing a thin jacket and shivering, all the effort in dressing up wasted with a raincoat on! The long-awaited crystal-clear lakes? Gray and gloomy under the cloudy sky, instantly feeling like losing billions... But! Rainy and foggy days in Jiuzhaigou are hidden "masters of atmosphere," capable of capturing fairyland scenes that are hard to find on sunny days! . 📍 Attraction Introduction (Rain and Fog Exclusive Beauty): Don’t underestimate Jiuzhaigou on rainy days! ☁️ The rain makes the waterfalls more spectacular, with rushing water and majestic momentum (Nuorilang and Pearl Shoal are amazing). Clouds and mist swirl among the mountains ⛰️, the primeval forest 🌲 looks even deeper and more mysterious, as if you are in a fairyland. Raindrops falling on the lake surface create ripples; although the reflections are blurry, they have a poetic ink-wash painting-like haze. The air is incredibly fresh, full of negative oxygen ions! . 📸 Photography Tips (Turning the ordinary into extraordinary): 1. Capture the grandeur! Capture the atmosphere! Let go of the obsession with "Tiffany blue." Focus on the rushing waterfalls, use slow shutter (select long exposure in "Live Photo" mode or lower shutter speed in professional mode) to shoot silky water flow. Capture the flowing clouds and mist in the mountains for amazing layers. 2. Use reflections and ripples: Even if the water color is dull, the calm lakes (like Mirror Lake and Rhino Lake) have a unique charm with reflections in the drizzle. The ripples caused by raindrops are also great visual elements. 3. Highlight color contrast: The gray background on cloudy days can actually emphasize the colors of calcium deposits and algae in the water (such as parts of Five Flower Lake), or find bright raincoats and umbrellas as accents. 4. Discover beauty in close-up: Leaves, moss, and small mushrooms 🍄 after rain are covered with water droplets, crystal clear. Use phone macro mode or get close to capture full details. 5. Silhouettes and mood: Wear a raincoat on the plankwalk or viewing platform, shoot atmospheric back or silhouette shots, blending into the mountains, water, and mist for a full storytelling effect. . 🚌 Transportation Guide (Be extra cautious in rain): • Mountain roads entering and exiting Jiuzhaigou are slippery and may have falling rocks in rainy weather. Choose official buses or experienced drivers; if driving yourself, be extremely careful and check road conditions. • The internal sightseeing buses operate as usual, but the plankwalks are slippery! Wear shoes with good anti-slip performance (hiking shoes, sports shoes), watch your step, don’t just focus on taking photos. • Bring waterproof backpacks or plastic bags to protect your camera and phone. . 🗺️ Recommended Route (Rain and Fog Fairyland Tour - Shuzheng Valley + Zechawa Valley): • Take a bus at the valley entrance -> Shuzheng Valley: Shuzheng Group Lakes & Shuzheng Waterfall (waterfall groups in the rain are very majestic) -> Sparkling Lake (colors are relatively clear even on cloudy days) -> Double Dragon Lake -> Reed Lake (misty rain adds more mood). • Transfer at Nuorilang Center -> Zechawa Valley: Long Lake (high mountain lake, looks like a fairyland when surrounded by clouds and mist) -> Five Color Pool (small and exquisite, colors remain vivid even on cloudy days). The waterfalls in Rizé Valley are spectacular, but the plankwalks are slippery and crowded in rain, so choose according to the situation. . ⚠️ Pitfall Avoidance Tips: • Waterproof gear is essential! High-quality shell jackets/raincoats, waterproof shoe covers/shoes, waterproof backpack covers are must-haves! Disposable raincoats are too fragile. • Keep warm! High altitude, temperature drops quickly when it rains. Pack thin down or fleece liners to add layers anytime. • Protect your equipment: Make sure cameras and phones are waterproofed (waterproof cases, plastic bags), use lens cloth to wipe off water vapor. • Safety first! Roads are slippery in rain, be extra careful walking on plankwalks, getting on/off vehicles, and near water. Thunderstorms are dangerous in open areas or under trees. • Adjust your mindset! Accept that weather is uncontrollable and enjoy a different kind of beauty. Alternating sun and rain is normal, maybe a rainbow 🌈 will appear next! . Sunny Jiuzhaigou looks like a postcard, but rainy and foggy Jiuzhaigou is a living landscape painting! 🌫️ That kind of hazy, majestic, cool, and mysterious temperament can’t be found on sunny days. Put on your raincoat, change your mood, and you will discover a more ethereal and Zen Jiuzhaigou. This unique "atmosphere" is a limited edition experience given by nature! ✨ .
